La gramática

La Plaza Mayor, Madrid, España

On this page, you will find a number of resources that will help you with some of the grammar concepts that we will be talking about this trimester so that you can review and practice what you have learned.

REMEMBER: Although using a translator website may seem like an easy solution, it will not help you in the long run and will, in fact, likely lead you astray because the translations are often not accurate. A computer program is not a replacement for your own thinking!

More information

• Real Academia Española
  • This source is entirely in Spanish! It is the website of the royal institution, based in Madrid, that officially decides on guidelines for the Spanish langauge. This is a somewhat advanced resource, but it is interesting to take a look at - the English language does not have an academy like this! You can read more about the Real Academia here.
